May is #Osteoporosis Awareness Month! Write your members of Congress and tell them this May, they need to support legislation increasing access to DXA scans to detect the disease before a fracture. Take Action Now: buff.ly/2LGrYSn

Did you know: The reimbursement for DXA scans in 2006 was $139? In 2019, it's only $40. Write your Members of Congress and tell them to #IncreaseAccess to DXA scans: buff.ly/2LGrYSn

Did you know: One in two women and up to one in four men over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis? Write your legislators and encourage them to co-sponsor HR 2693/S 283: buff.ly/2LGrYSn

Did you know: There are numerous generic osteoporosis medications available for those diagnosed with low bone density but, #Medicare patients have to have a #DXA scan to be eligible for the medication? Tell your legislators to #RaiseTheReimbursement: buff.ly/2LGrYSn

As National Osteoporosis Month comes to a close, we'd like to remind lawmakers that millions of Americans still lack inadequate access to diagnostic tests for this disease. As a consequence, the incidence of hip fractures have increased in the US. buff.ly/2LGrYSn

Thank you CMSGov and Dr. Kate Goodrich for meeting with the #AUC Coalition this morning. We look forward to working with you and Congress to advance a new AUC program that is the least burdensome as possible and better aligned with the MIPS program.

Join us September 9th and 10th for AAOE's Compliance Symposium and Capitol Hill Day in Washington, DC. AAOE is where education meets action! Register here: bit.ly/2TCwcLm

AAOE advocates hit the Hill today for our 3rd annual Capitol Hill Day. Our NY and PA attendees met with Chuck Schumer’s staff to advocate for #DXA, #PriorAuthorizationReform, #DelayingAUC, and #ArbitrationForSurpriseBilling

AAOE believes that competition among providers of medical services will ultimately lower costs for patients while increasing the quality of care provided. We hope CMS will work with Congress to continue to pursue policies promoting competition. modernhealthcare.com/payment/judge-…

Provider consolidation is driving up costs for American patients. When there are fewer competitors, patients have fewer choices and prices go up. What’s worse is the lack of competition leads to no pressure to improve quality.
